Top Performers (Week 4)

This week, many prospects across the state did a lot of Christmas shopping, running up the stat sheet at the checkout line and turning them into wins for their respected programs.

A couple of prospects in the state reached 1,000 points.

Two titans clashed Saturday evening at The Platform Basketball Showcase event at Houston High School.

Here are the highlights from this week:

Statement win

Houston protected its home floor Saturday evening - at The Platform Basketball Showcase event - with a 74-63 win over Whitehaven, handing the Tigers their second loss of the season.

Senior wing Keron Jackson Keron Jackson 6'7" | SF Houston | 2025 State #341 Nation TN was crowned MVP after leading the way with 27 points. Senior guard Kaleb Jeffries Kaleb Jeffries 6'1" | CG Houston | 2025 State TN finished with 22 points.

It was a statement win for the Mustangs, who needed a quality win against an opponent like Whitehaven, a program with TSSAA Division 1 Class 4A title aspirations.

Likewise, the home team has title aspirations as well.

Houston punched the Tigers first by making shots in transition and in the half court. The Mustangs crashed the boards against one of the more physical teams in the state. Houston withstood scoring runs by Whitehaven and soaked in all of the trash talking that's etched inside the Tigers' DNA.

This win by the Mustangs not only gives them their eighth win on the season, but it also gives them confidence to defeat the Tigers if both programs were to meet again in the Class 4A Region 8 Tournament in March. Whitehaven defeated Houston in the quarterfinals round of the regional tournament last season.

Sophomore wing Jordan Myles Jordan Myles 6'5" | SF Houston | 2027 State TN was part of the Mustangs a season ago when the Tigers cruised to an 88-62 victory. He remembers vividly how Whitehaven controlled the boards, got easy scores, and pilled its ears back on defense.

Myles returned the favor with 15 points and a great effort on the defensive end.

“I was super excited,” the 6-foot-5 sophomore's thoughts when the basketball went up in the air. “They knocked us in the region last year, and we were trying to get them back. It was an exciting win.”

Opportunity is there

Whitehaven is one of a handful of teams in the Class 4A state title bubble. The Tigers have length all over the floor with Dorion Bowen Dorion Bowen 6'6" | SF Evansville Bosse | 2026 State IN (6-6), Cameron Brown Cameron Brown 6'5" | SG Whitehaven | 2025 State TN (6-5), Rashad Bryant (6-8), and Bob Dickson (6-7), who didn't play in this highly-anticipated contest. Seniors Kenton Smith Jr., Taquez Butler Taquez Butler 6'3" | SG Whitehaven | 2025 State TN , and Jarmon Brittman are physical on-ball defenders.

Whitehaven had good moments in spurts. Trailing 32-18 late in the second quarter, the Tigers went on an 8-0 run. Brown drained a rhythm jumper from the left elbow. Late in the third quarter, Whitehaven used another 8–0 run to get within four (42-38). Brown scored on back-to-back possessions. That was the closest the Tigers would get in the second half.

Whitehaven could possibly see Houston again in March. It's expected for the Tigers to play better, especially when much more will be at stake by then.
